Getting Started with Number to LCD kata in Typescript

Prerequisites

  • macOS, Linux or Windows

  • git client

  • curl command line utility

  • node

  • yarn

    Details

    You can install node directly or through nvm.

Getting ready

1 - Clone the kata repository

git clone https://github.com/murex/Kata-NumberToLcd.git

2 - Go to the kata's typescript directory

cd Kata-NumberToLcd/typescript

3 - Download dependencies

The kata uses corepack when configuring yarn as the package manager to be used. You may need to run the following command beforehand to enable it:

Note: depending on your environment you may need to run this command as an administrator (Windows) or with sudo (Linux and macOS)

corepack enable

To download the dependencies:

corepack yarn install

Running the kata

You can run the kata from the command line or from your IDE of choice.

You may also run it using TCR if you want to add a bit of spice.

Running the kata from a terminal

Reminder: the command below should be run from Kata-NumberToLcd/typescript directory

To run the tests:

yarn jest

Running the kata from a terminal with TCR

Note to Windows users

Use a git bash terminal for running the command below. Windows CMD and PowerShell are not supported

Type the following to start TCR:

./tcrw

Refer to Using TCR section for additional details about TCR and available options.

Running the kata from WebStorm

Open WebStorm and select:

File > Open > Kata-NumberToLcd > typescript

Run all the tests in the project.

The "Run" tool window should display all the executed tests.

Running the kata from WebStorm with TCR

TCR is provided as a command line utility running in a terminal. You can run it from WebStorm directly, through leveraging on its built-in terminal.

1. Open the kata

Open WebStorm and select:

File > Open > Kata-NumberToLcd > typescript

2. Turn off auto-save

TCR is constantly watching the filesystem for changes. For this reason you need to turn off WebStorm's auto-save in order for it to behave as expected.

File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings

Under Autosave section, uncheck the 2 following options:

  • Save files if the IDE is idle for ___ seconds
  • Save files when switching to a different application or a built-in terminal

3. Configure the built-in terminal to run git bash

Windows Only

Skip this step if you're on macOS or Linux

WebStorm for Windows is usually set up to run PowerShell by default in its built-in terminal. TCR does not run in PowerShell.

File > Settings > Tools > Terminal

Under Application Settings section, set the Shell path to C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe

The above path is for a default git installation location. You may need to adjust it in case you have installed git at a different location.

4. Open a built-in terminal

View > Tool Windows > Terminal

5. Launch TCR

Reminder: the command below should be run from Kata-NumberToLcd/typescript directory

From the built-in terminal:

./tcrw

Refer to Using TCR section for additional details about TCR and available options.

Running the kata from IntelliJ

Important: This requires to have IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate edition.

IntelliJ's Javascript and Typescript plugin is not available with the Community edition. You can still use it as an editor for Typescript files, but you will not be able to use the benefits brought by the Javascript and Typescript plugin, such as syntax highlighting, code refactoring or integration with IntelliJ's test navigator.

Open IntelliJ and select:

File > Open > Kata-NumberToLcd > typescript

Run all the tests in the project.

The "Run" tool window should display all the executed tests.
